The T3-44 tube access probe is designed for vertical water content profiling in thin walled (custom polycarbonate) access tubes.
Why TRIME?
The T3 has a cylindrical PVC-body, which has four spring-mounted, curved aluminum plates located on opposite sides of the probe body. Each set of plates function as TDR-wave guides (like a traditional rod-probe), that presses against the inside of the access tube once the probe is inserted. The tube access probe is designed to measure from the inside of the special 44-mm plastic access tubes, adjusting to the desired location for measurement. New generation TRIME® TDR technology paired with MESA’s 25 years of sensor development know how and moisture measurement experience yield accurate readings with the highest repeatability possible.
Applications:
Below soil use, designed for vertical water content profiling in thin walled (custom polycarbonate) access tubes and scientific research
Materials:
Soil and other porous materials, vertical profiling up to depth of 3-meters
Features:
- Straightforward field management of all measured data and data files
- Access to tube installation is conveniently accomplished using a specially developed auger/drilling tube insertion set
- Accurate real-time averaged moisture values in seconds
- Significantly longer operation periods without the necessity of re-calibration and maintenance
- Factory calibrated
- Requires a PICO Intelligent Probe Head (IPH) for operation. The PICO IPH contains the intelligent TDR curve analyzing electronics, as well as, a rugged semi-rigid cable to position the T3-44 to the desired depth in the access tube
